Going to the toilet in between chunks of revision, I was getting ready for my GCSE exams in September 2016.
Only, when I went to the toilet, I saw blood in my stool.
Oh, I must have strained too hard, I thought. It’ll fix itself.
But I began noticing that this symptom was worsening every time I went to the loo.
And by October, it was getting really bad.
Looking at the pools of red in the loo, I felt embarrassed.
